Back again!
Hi all, I started MFP back in 2018 when I was at my heaviest. I was depressed sad and sought so much food as comfortable. I hated it. I yo-yo dieted a lot and nothing worked. in the end, for me Intermittent fasting was the game changer. I lost over 15kg with this, and I felt so good, more energy, more clothes options etc,…

Limiting and or Eliminating Processed Foods.
Hello all! It's been a while since I have been in here. I need some nutrition help, please! So I've been told my gut is now too sensitive for most foods, so ideally, the less processed it is, the better. (it's taken a year of specialists to reach this conclusion.) I have an appointment with a nutritionist, but not for…

Because of Weight loss...
Because of the weight loss of 10 kilos in the last six months, I've finally got a low enough Blood pressure reading I no longer need to take medication for it.

Cross Trainers and Fitness Trackers.
I have a Proform CrossTrainer, and the calories burned discrepancy is absolutely massive. while I know fitness machines tend to overcaculate, it does seem like too much? for example, 15 mins on a cross trainer is 100 calories burned according to apple watch, but on cross trainer 15 mins is 250 calories. It feels like the…

Apple Watch
As I do more and more workouts and track them, my watch seems to make more and more time for me to burn calories I feel like I am having to work even harder to get any calories burnt. It feels like my fitness is going backwards rather than forwards, I know I'm better for it, I can run longer without getting out of breath,…

What’s best excerise setting in Apple Watch for pram?

And here’s my problem, Which excerise setting is best? Is it outdoor walk or other? Outdoor walk gives me very little calories where as other…

Granted i'd like it to be more, but hey, thats how it's going to work for my body. I'm averaging about 1300-1400 calories a day. maybe once a week I do 1500-1600 calories. That tends to be we…

Good replacement for cheese?
I love wraps. They’re easy to put together and quick. They can be toasted in winter so it’s an easy all round meal. Except the cheese! The calories in cheese! 25 grams of grated cheese can be easily 100 calories. What’s a good replacement for it? I was thinking hommus, but for example I do like a simple ham, cheese and…

Been doing decent with food, but since this dreadful cold I got yesterday, I suddenly feel like I’m not getting enough food. I’m drinking heaps of water but don’t feel statisfed and desperate for sweet junky food. How to ignore it? I have two kids so I can’t sleep it off.

I even have a snack, but the snack leaves me wanting more. I make sure its not too sugary either. Lunch is in half an hour,…

Why should I eat the calories burned?
I’ve been reading along here trying not to dulpicate questions, so forgive me if this has been asked recently, But I’m struggling to understand the whole eat the calories you’ve burned through excerise. Is it, you have a calorie limit like 1200, you burn 300 Calories, so that means you can eat 1500 calories and still lose…

How do know how much food to put on plate?
It’s easy enough with things like breakfast, I can weigh out the amount I need. But lunches and dinner? I’m finding that hard, they don’t come out of a cereal packet loaded with the nutritional table information. So as a guideline, how much should I be putting down on a plate for weight (grams here) I get it changes based…

Has anyone done two workouts a day?
I am thinking of doing two workouts a day, one the morning and one in the evening. the morning one is a gym workout class of one hour and evening would be a run on my treadmill at home for about 45 mins (including warm up and cool down). Would there be any issues with this? I'm keen to kickstart the weight loss. I'd make…
